Thanks everyone for your reviews, however I decided that I want to have the least amount of stress on my birthday, and driving into NYC is stress personified. We decided to go in a different direction and stay in NJ, but have a goregous view of NYC from the window of Le Jardin in Edgewater. We ate there a number of times and never had a bad experience. We're staying with steak, but in a Chateaubriand for two. Thanks again!

We live in Jersey, and in the past for my birthday we used to celebrate at a steakhouse that was reccommended here some years ago: Mignon in Rutherford. Sadly, the restaruant is now gone, and though we tried other steak houses in NJ, my wife wants to treat me to a real traditional steak house in NYC. I've heard of the usual places like Smith & Wollensky, Sparks, Peter Luger, and we'd like to try one of them. Although any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Imagine our disappointment when our favorite steakhouse, Mignon in Rutherford, closed. We're looking for another steakhouse that offers Prime aged beef, a real traditional steakhouse. I've seen advertising for Rare in Little Falls, but I haven't heard anything about it. It's ironic that we first heard about Mignon six years ago here on Chowhound, we trust your recommenations.
